Sorry to bring up this dinosaur here, but my government client needs hard drives for a RISC 6000 system. Are they just SCSI drives, or something different? Can anyone reccomend where we can get them? The fate of the free world hangs in the balance...

RS/6000 drives are hardware specific. The reason being they interact with the operating system AIX to perform bad block relocation and stuff.

What model RS/6k ? I can point you to resellers.

Also, some of IBM's RAID array towers use differential SCSI drives. (found that out the hard way).
